We strive to improve our patient’s quality of life though our premium individualized hearing care services and devices.

Diagnostic Hearing Evaluation

The first step in any treatment plan is to have a comprehensive hearing evaluation. Results of the evaluation reveal the type, degree and nature of your hearing loss.

Our hearing assessment goes beyond the basic hearing test to look at the entire auditory system from ears to the brain. This includes assessing if you have trouble hearing in noise.

Tinnitus Evaluation and Management

Tinnitus is a condition where you can hear ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds when no actual noise is audible. Tinnitus might affect one ear or both ears and may also impede how well you can hear things around you.

It’s important for patients to know that they are not alone with their tinnitus, and Atlantic Hearing Care is here to help. Our clinicians can assess the severity of your problem in order to recommend a treatment plan that will work best for you.

Cochlear Implant Evaluation

When even the most powerful hearing aids are no longer beneficial, we provide the specialized evaluation needed to determine if a cochlear implant is needed as well as the programming of the implant.

If results suggest you are a candidate, we refer you to a specialty ear surgeon for the implant. After the surgery, we will activate and program the device and guide you in the process of getting your hearing back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do audiologists treat?

Audiologists are highly trained professionals who use technology, hearing tests, and creative problem solving to identify and treat problems with hearing loss.

When it comes to hearing problems, an audiologist is the go-to professional for assessment and devices. They are equipped with the skills needed to help individuals still function normally and participate in daily conversations.

Hearing aids come in all shapes and sizes, but the most important thing to consider is your hearing condition. A simple Google search will have you going back and forth between brands that vary in price, style, color, design, and technology. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by too many choices then head to an audiologist for a consultation.

If you are looking for reliable Massachusetts audiology clinics, Atlantic Hearing Care has two hearing centers in this area. Drop by either of Atlantic Hearing Care’s locations in Swampscott or Peabody and have an audiologist conduct a diagnostic hearing test as a first step in choosing the best hearing aid for you.

Tinnitus is when you hear sounds like buzzing, ringing, chirping, or hissing, even when there’s no external source for these noises. Various factors, including age-related hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, ear infections, certain medications, head or neck injuries, and other conditions can cause it.

While tinnitus can be bothersome and, for some, even debilitating, there are ways to make it less disruptive to your daily life. Working with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan is key to managing this condition effectively.

Hearing aids are available in various styles:
 
  • in the canal (ITC)
  • in the ear (ITE)
  • behind the ear (BTE)
  • receiver in canal (RIC)
  • Invisible in the canal (IIC)

An audiologist can help you choose the best style for you and can also explain the pros and cons of each style. For example, ITE is the biggest in the ear available; the most discreet would be IIC or RIC. Our audiologists at Atlantic Hearing Care can discuss the different hearing aid styles. Don’t be shy and ask away; remember, you will be using hearing aids every day so you might as well be very comfortable with them.

The effects of hearing loss can be subtle or they may not become clear until later on. Signs that you might have a problem are muffled speech and sounds, difficulty understanding high-pitched sounds (alarm clocks, doorbells), struggling to catch up in conversations in noisy places.

Self-referral is a direct path to Audiology for hearing evaluation and, if necessary, National Health Service hearing aids. You do not need to see any other health care professional before seeing an audiologist if you use self referral. In general, you can refer yourself to an audiologist, but if you want to acquire insurance through third-party payers, you must get a recommendation from a doctor.

Currently, all diagnostic audiological treatments paid for by Medicare require a physician referral, with the purpose of testing as the major factor affecting payment. Medicare covers medically acceptable and required therapies for a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. For each treatment charge, the clinician must indicate in the medical record the specific sign, symptom, or complaint that requires the service.

A hearing aid specialist (HIS) can examine your hearing and fit you with a hearing aid. Audiologists can assess and diagnose a larger range of hearing and balance problems. Audiologists are the medical specialists in charge of diagnosing the root cause of hearing loss since they are concerned with the pathophysiology of hearing loss. An HIS, on the other hand, is exclusively concerned in doing hearing tests and fitting hearing aids.

Hearing aid dispensers (HADs) are fully licensed experts who test hearing and provide aftercare for hearing aids. Hearing aid dispensers must be qualified and apply for a license in order to use hearing technology. Audiologists can assess and diagnose a larger range of hearing and balance problems. An audiologist may be more suited for more medically related services such as balance issues, earwax impactions, and noise-induced hearing loss. Both professionals may do hearing aid maintenance, cleaning, and repairs, as well as fitting and adjusting.

Audiologists perform analysis tests primarily to evaluate a patient’s hearing capacity and, if necessary, to diagnose and address hearing loss with hearing aids and other devices. They spend a lot of time advising patients and their families on how to improve communication and take better care of their hearing. Successful audiologists are required to be kind and understanding people with strong communication, analytical, and critical thinking abilities.

Avoid purchasing inexpensive hearing aids because you can wind up making your hearing issues worse. Realistically speaking, you can’t expect much from cheap hearing aids. The majority of inexpensive “hearing aids” can only do two things – amplify sounds and let you control the volume. Cheap hearing aids cannot address specific types of hearing loss and cannot be customized.

Hearing loss can be triggered by various factors which is why it is very important to get an accurate hearing evaluation to determine the best treatment approach. Experiencing overly loud noises on a regular basis, such as from machinery or gunfire, can make one more susceptible to hearing loss over time. Presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) is expected to occur gradually as a person gets older. Certain drugs or medications may also cause hearing loss. 

Using cotton buds or other small, pointed objects to rid your ears of wax can put your ears at risk. We highly recommend professional earwax removal rather than attempting to get rid of wax buildup through DIY techniques to avoid harming delicate ear parts. Professional earwax removal is generally safe and takes no more than 30 minutes.

Atlantic Hearing Care in Massachusetts:
We’re Here To Help

There’s nothing more human than connecting — with family, friends, and community. That’s how we find our value and our place with others.

Our sense of hearing is fundamental to participating fully in life, it is what keeps us connected to those we love. Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation, depression and poor health. Recent research has shown that well fit hearing aids improve quality of life and may help prevent memory and cognitive decline by keeping people engaged and stimulating the hearing and language areas of the brain.
